Trains around Cape Town

Cape Town’s commuter rail network starts at the central station. The line toward Simon’s Town is especially relevant for False Bay stops and a coastal view.

Trains around Cape Town

Why go

The southern route links central Cape Town with places such as Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simon’s Town. South of Muizenberg, the tracks run beside False Bay, making the journey part of the outing. Service patterns can change, so check the current timetable before building a beach visit around a train.

Useful to know

  • Use Cape Town station near Adderley and Strand streets as the starting point for a central-city departure.
  • For a coastal outing, compare current stops and times on the Simon’s Town line before choosing a False Bay beach.
  • Check the operator’s current service and safety guidance, especially for the return journey.
